Americans who can't hear anything negative about America are like partners afraid to go to couple's counselling. Being in any sort of committed relationship *requires* that one be open to working on stuff. I think citizenship is just as signficant a relationship as the one I have with my fuck-buddy.
Keep on speaking your mind. I'll be listening.
Signed, An American who may spank you for turning off comments in the other entry.
And in general, I can handle the shittyness, it's just when it comes from someone I like, someone I thought better of, someone I thought knew me better than to think I'd be so prejudiced towards Americans, that's when it hurts, and now especially I'm not up for that kind of hurt. :/
But, thank you. I have a lot of opinions, and I'll continue to speak my mind, but I hope people can keep in mind that I may disagree (a lot, in some cases) with US laws and policies, but that doesn't mean I hate all Americans. Hell, I'm planning to emigrate there in a few years, for god's sake. :)
